Jenson's coming to 11 months and I've been sending out the invites to his birthday party for the past week. We'll be having the usual 1st year party for relatives and really close friends.. And many people's reactions were, wah! didi's going to be 1? So fast! Yeah, I'm with them on that one. TIME SURE FLEW BY ALOT FASTER FOR NO.2!
Just 3 days short of 11 months, this boy can now crawl as fast as lightning.. he knows what milk is.. if he's on the floor and he hears us say "it's milk time", he will immediately crawl over to the little table where his milk feeds are. He knows where the aircons are, the fan and the clock. He understands simple instructions like clap your hands, twinkle twinkle little stars and the song ABC - Z. He is still at the cruising stage, has been for the longest time, and we really wonder when he's going to start walking on his own. He can take about 5 steps on his own now but I guess that doesn't really count, as more often than not, he still prefers to just lunge forward haphazardly.
We are still getting used to his little antics. He pulls stunts that we have never experienced with Jill. He crawls up on you when you carry him, he flips and scampers away when he's being changed or diaper is being changed. If he doesn't want to sleep, he wouldn't just lie there quietly to enjoy your patting. Instead he will yell his lungs out and he will crawl all over his cot just so you can't pin him down. I take that as a good sign, that he has excellent motor skills.
He's extremely adorable and I'm grateful to God for His gift to us.
